Re: [Audyssey] getting direct x date info

2007-06-30 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Che,
Unfortunately, Microsoft offers no simple or easy way to obtain that 
information. For example, the dxdiag.exe utility will only report you 
are running 9.0C, but will not give you actual stable release dates 
which is crytical if you are using the updated releases such as June 
2007. The only way to really know is by comparing the date/time stamps 
on the dlls themselves with your Microsoft DirectX dll files.
For example, for the June 2 2007 release of DirectX your 
Microsoft.DirectX.dll file should report a create date/time of Tuseday 
May 8, 2007 at 3:10:57 PM. You could compare that time stamp with your 
end user's installation,  and then know which version they had installed.
If that was all that was involved you might say no problem. Well, 
unfortunately finding those runtime libraries can be a pain as they are 
usually in hidden folders which needs to be unhidden before they can 
read those date/time stamps.

   Does anyone know where to get the date info? I know how to get the version 
 number from dxdiag, but I need the date for Rail Racer.
   Thanks,

You could just check the versions on the dlls and dates maybe I don't know.
